How to use this list
Begin by assembling all ingredients on your counter. Measure 2 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 4 eggs, and 3/4 cup whole milk for the spaetzle batter. Mix with 1 1/2 teaspoons fine salt. Slice three yellow onions for caramelizing in 5 tablespoons unsalted butter. Grate 8 ounces each of Gruyere and Emmentaler cheese. After boiling and draining the spaetzle, layer them in a baking dish with the grated cheeses. Top with caramelized onions, sprinkle with 1 teaspoon black pepper, and finish with chopped fresh chives.
What to skip
Don’t use pre-shredded cheese; it doesn’t melt as smoothly as freshly grated blocks. Avoid overcooking the spaetzle—they should be tender, not mushy. Some skip the caramelized onions, but they add key flavor, so don’t leave them out.
What is on this list
